Volunteer
The National Railroad Museum relies on the hard work and dedication of volunteers. Volunteers help out in a variety of ways, and volunteering with us is a great opportunity to cultivate new skills, connect with your community, and spend time around fascinating railroad history!
We have volunteer roles for almost any interest, skill set, or age! Below you will find some examples. If you don’t see an area that interests you, that’s ok! Contact us, and we would love to work with you!
We are currently seeking volunteers for Paw Patrol Paw Palooza! Sign up to help with crafts, train operations, and more, here!
Train Operations
Taking a train ride is a large part of the museum experience. Trained volunteers serve as conductors and engineers for these excursions. Would you like to run the train? We provided an extensive training program for qualified volunteers.
Special Events
Special events attract large numbers of patrons to the museum. Additional help is always needed for craft activities, game attendants, gift shop assistance, and more. This is a great way for a large group to volunteer.
Education
The Museum offers dynamic educational programs for all ages. We need help preparing and processing these programs. Volunteers help with Summer Railroading Camps, STEM programming, Day in a Life, and more!
Archives/Collections
The Museum’s collection is vast and always growing. Volunteers assist the Curator with cataloging and filing, answering research questions, and assisting on special projects.
Restoration
Do you have experience with restoration, carpentry, or machinery? The Restoration team works year-round to restore and preserve historic train cars and could use your help!
The Polar Express
Interested in volunteering for the Polar Express? We are always happy to chat with potential volunteers! Email us at volunteers@nationalrrmuseum.org!
